Jameela Jamil is speaking out after her name was mentioned in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni‘s legal battle.
According to new public court documents filed in Lively v. Wayfarer Studios LLC, the 39-year-old The Good Place actress was allegedly messaging with publicist Jennifer Abel, who represented Justin.
In their back-and-forth, Jameela allegedly messaged some statements about Blake including apparently calling her a “suicide bomber” and said she’s putting on a “bizarre villain act.”
After the unsealed texts made headlines, Jameela took to her Instagram Story on Thursday (January 22) to defend her feminist views.

“It does not mean you have to like every single woman,” she continued. “It doesn’t mean you have to be friends with every single woman. It means you can actually beef with other women. You can criticize them. You can do whatever you want, as long as you are also fighting for their human right to the same things that men have in this world.”
Jameela added, “That’s all feminism is. It’s a moral and political stance. It is not a sleepover where we braid each other’s pubes, OK? So if you are fighting for women’s rights, but you don’t get along with every single woman, it doesn’t make you a bad feminist.”
If you didn’t see, Blake‘s texts with Taylor Swift were also released as part of the new filling.
